Grrrr ... I'd trade some photo ability for some driving ability! After a decent Practice, 48.9 ... I kept wimping out going across the hill today.

Thanks for getting some nice snaps of me!

I forgot to turn the plugin mic that I bought on for Trevor, so you can compare his video to either mine or Mark's to hear just how crappy the builtin GoPro mic is.

Sorry about the wind noise; I hadn't planned on mounting the camera to the roof.

Steve has to work on getting closer to the cones. OK, Steve, reel it back just a notch.....

Who says the rear wheels of a FWD car serve no purpose? They're there to stomp the cone back down to the ground!

(both runs were clean but a course worker told Steve that one of them was only overlapping the box by an inch)

Robert is probably yelling... "My fat incompetent crew chief can't make my stupid two stroke Yamaha run."

[Max Hayter]

It's like the engine just expired at the sight of QV's outfit!

Robert is probably yelling... "My fat incompetent crew chief won't hire a shaman to make my stupid two stroke Yamaha run."

Fixed that for you.

(add the usual "haven't blown up your first motor, eh?" comment - seems to be the initiation rite)

[Tristan Littlehale]

Here's my clean 44.090 in STU E36 M3. Don't be shy from commenting

Very nice and smooth ... Tristan ... did you see your stills from the last event? Some nice ones ... and more coming up from this weekend.

[Tristan Littlehale]

Thanks Mako! I just took a look at the photos. Awesome job capturing my sideways-ness! Look forward to this last weekend photos.

[Max Hayter]

Awesome job capturing my sideways-ness!

I love watching Tristan drive

[Mako Koiwai]

Yah ... he was one of the few that would get the car a bit sideways before the last corner to straighten it out and get on the power early ... in a controlled fashion, as opposed to a few who would get all squirrely coming in too fast.

Sunday's race photos have been uploaded: http://public.fotki.com/makofoto/2012-r ... uary-race/

Rick Brown suggested doing some what we call Dutch Angles in the movie biz. Part way through the day I inexplicably started to slant the camera in the other direction ... doesn't work as well imo. Of course I could crop any regular photo at a slant ...

Robert did give me a "WTF?" look w/ his shoulders & hands a run earlier - I was hoping it was just for engine troubles!

Yeah the reverse slant doesn't work as well, except in the few shots where the vehicle was going "up hill". But I really do like the slant and hopefully so do some customers!

I'm a little late to the party...trying to re-learn Final Cut Express using this video.

My hands are still a little high, but they're much better than where they often used to be at the top of the wheel.

[Mako Koiwai]

Thanks for the orders guys ... I'll try to get caught up today
